Trump's America One Year Later

One year ago Donald Trump was elected President of the United States in what many considered to be an upset victory over Hillary Clinton. Now, one year later, Democrats are celebrating, winning closely watched governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia, and other victories down the ballot. (Published Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017)

President Donald Trump's legislative agenda faces tough going in Congress, but that hasn't stopped his administration from changing the way the federal government does business.
